The members of this family are listed below.NOTEReferences to “P1175.x“ in
6、 this standard refer to members of the 1175 family of standards that were not yetapproved at the time that this standard was balloted.This family of standards replaces IEEE Std 1175TM-1991, IEEE Standard Reference Model for Computing System ToolInterconnections.1IEEE Std 1175-1991 was advanced to a
7、full-use standard in 1994. It covered a number of closelyrelated subjects, and the scope of material contained was able to serve a number of divergent interests.This revision restructures and substantially augments the material in IEEE Std 1175-1991. It has been divided into sev-eral individually us
8、eful documents in order to facilitate its use by different communities of interest. These guides,recommended practices, and standards generally address issues involved in characterizing the kinds of interconnectionsthat exist between a computing system tool and its environment. Although particularly
9、 intended to address the imple-mentation and use of Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools, the discussion of interconnections in thisfamily actually has wider applicability to computing system tools in general, beyond only CASE tools.Four kinds of interconnections with a computing system
10、tool are addressed: interconnections with organizations, users,platforms, and other computing system tools. Consideration of interconnections is important to understanding, selecting,implementing, and using computing system tools. Also, although most computing system tools do not need to communi-cat
11、e behavior descriptions of subject systems, their creators need to develop such descriptions for them.A brief summary overview of each of the members of this family of standards is given below. A more complete over-view is available in IEEE Std 1175.1TM-2002, which provides an integrated overview of
12、 the members of the 1175 familyof standards, and it describes the fundamental concepts that provide a basis for organizing the material.Standard number TitleIEEE Std 1175.1TM-2002 IEEE Guide for CASE Tool InterconnectionsClassification and DescriptionIEEE P1175.2 Draft Recommended Practice for CASE

It appears in the standards listing on the IEEE Xplore website (http:/ieeexplore.ieee.org/) as “IEEE Std 1175, 17 Aug. 1992,” with the title “IEEE trial-use standard reference model for computing system tool interconnections.” In 1994, the term “trial-use” was r

It describes how these standards ar
18、e intended tobe used to accomplish the effective integration of computing system tools into a productive engineering environmentand sets forth the fundamental concepts on which these standards are based. These concepts establish the integratingframework for the other members of this family of standa
19、rds. IEEE Std 1175.1-2002 describes the scope of applicationof each member standard, the various issues addressed in that standard, and the interrelationships between the familymembers.IEEE P1175.2 Recommended Practice for CASE Tool InterconnectionsCharacterization of InterconnectionsIEEE P1175.2 pr
20、esents four perspectives on a computing system tools interconnections that offer insight into the opera-tional problems of interconnecting computing system tools with their environment. IEEE P1175.2 establishesrecommended collections of standard contextual attributes describing relationships between
21、 a computing system tooland its organizational deployment, its human user, its executable platform, and its peer tools, as illustrated in the figurebelow. These contextual attributes are of the “news-story” form: who, what, when, where, why. The values of these con-textual attributes are references
22、to organizational, industrial, and professional standards. By assisting users to reach aclear understanding of the context of operation for a computing system tool, IEEE P1175.2 contributes to the effectiveimplementation and application of computing system tools.SubjectToolOtherToolPlatformOrganizat

All rights reserved. vIEEE Std 1175.3-2004 Standard for CASE Tool InterconnectionsReference Model for Specifying Software Behavior (thi
24、s standard)This standard is an expansion of Part 3 of IEEE Std 1175-1991. It focuses specifically on a common set of modelingconcepts found in commercial CASE tools for describing the operational behavior of a software product, and it providesa formal, logical model for describing this behavior. Thi
25、s standard also defines a Semantic Transfer Language (STL) forcommunicating software behavior descriptions from one tool to another. A notable feature of the STL is its design forhuman readability, which makes STL text files suitable for use in software design reviews by users unfamiliar with com-pu
26、ting system tool diagramming notations. In addition, the design of the STL syntax readily permits analysts to prepareand edit STL descriptions using a text editor or word processor.To permit backward compatibility with Part 3 of IEEE Std 1175-1991, this standard makes no changes to the STL syntaxor
27、to the rules for conformance to this syntax as originally defined in Part 3 of IEEE Std 1175-1991. However, someaspects of the 1991 syntax that were previously left as user defined have now been specified in order to increase the con-sistency and reliability with which the STL may be used for exchan
28、ging software specification information. In addition,improvements have been made in how the STL syntax is defined and explained. Finally, the STL Interconnection Profilehas been replaced with more straightforward, more “user-friendly” tabular and comma-separated-value formats to definea Tool Interco
29、nnection Profile that can serve the same purpose as the original form of the Profile.IEEE P1175.4 Standard for CASE Tool InterconnectionsReference Model for Specifying System BehaviorIEEE P1175.4 encompasses the description of other computing systems supported by IEEE 1175.3-2004, but it goes fur-th
30、er, providing a basis for representing a wider variety of computing systems. Specifically, IEEE P1175.4 provides thenecessary semantic elements for describing general hardware/software systems, including hardware-only, software-only,or mixed system components, and it allows these different types of
31、components to be treated in a consistent manner.IEEE P1175.5 Standard for CASE Tool InterconnectionsSyntax for Transferring Behavior SpecificationsIEEE P1175.5 provides a structured syntax and a specific set of data elements that can be exchanged as a text stream ortext file with users or other tool
32、s. This syntax permits describing a systems operational behavior as an instance of the ref-erence meta-model in IEEE P1175.4. The figure below illustrates the relationship between the IEEE P1175.4 meta-modeland the IEEE P1175.5 XML syntax in the context of the tooltool exchange of a computing system
